I had wondered especially about the new spokesperson after watching a couple of briefings with Nuland, who seems effective, but steely. It was fascinating to look her up and find out that she grew up as the daughter of a medical ethicist on the Yale faculty and that she married into a neoconservative family (husband and father-in-law) connected with PNAC, the Brookings Institution and HRC (her husband Robert Kagan served on Secretary of State Hillary Clinton's Foreign Affairs Policy Board per his Wikipedia entry.) I'll look forward to finding out more about Jen Psaki and watching her briefings to compare her style to Nuland's.

I'm glad JK will be working with people he trusts and likes, especially David Wade.
